Morrow Wins Again & Spraker Defends Pony Championship


Cleveland Speedway race fans were again treated to a pair of 30 lap features as the regular Super Late Model race and the Pony Stock MidSeason Championship special event was on tap. Reigning Rookie of the Year 16 year old Todd Morrow of Old Fort TN won his second SLM race. In the Pony MidSeason Championship defending race champion and current division points leader Jason Spraker of Cleveland won his second consecutive title. In the Claimer Late Model race Chad Anderson of Chattanooga took his second win of the season. The Hobby feature was the best by far as Doug Works of Cleveland raced passed rival / race leader Richard Dixon to lead only the last two laps of the race. Unfortunately for Works a post race protest disqualified him giving the win to Dixon. In the Street feature young Alex Nash of Chattanooga won the 12 lap finale.

In Budweiser King of Speed: Qualifying Morrow turned the fastest lap as again the only racer to brake the 14 second bracket with a 14:961 second lap. Morrow collected the win of heat #1 earning the pole for the feature. Morrow was followed by his uncle Billy Mayo, Paul Tims, Elgin Gray and P.D. Doss. In the second heat race second fastest qualifier Mike Tinker picked up the win over Dewayne Smith, John Owenby, Eddie Benefield and Chuck Tinker. As Morrow and Tinker brought their respective " T " machines (# T1 & # T22) to the green flag Morrow showed the way fronting his "Shannon Trucking" Ford Mustang out in front with Tinker, Mayo, Tims and Smith in tow. Morrow rolled on to his second win in three weeks extending his lead to sometimes as far as a straight away lead over Tinker. The 30 lap feature went non-stop / caution free as Morrow lapped traffic exceeding the top ten positions. Tinker, Mayo (in his best career finish ever) Tims and Smith rounded out the top five. Owenby, Benefield, Doss, C. Tinker and Chris Powell rounded out the top ten.

In the Pony MidSeason Championship two heat races matched the field for the 30 lap "A" Main feature. David Doss debuted his blue # 28 winning the first heat as Jimmy Brown and Donald Forgey racked up valuable bonus points for top three finishes in the heat. Benji Massengill and Mathew Gainer rounded out the top five. Last years MidSeason Champ Jason Spraker took the win in the second heat to earn the outside pole for the feature. Scott Ledford, Chris Davenport, Nathan Hair and Mandy Shaw finished sixth thru fifth. As the field took the green for the feature Spraker shot into the lead as Doss faded to fifth by the tenth circuit. Brown and Ledford began battling for second as Doss reared a yellow at the halfway point. For the last half of the race you could throw a blanket over the top three as Spraker, Ledford and Brown raced for the Championship. As the white flag waved with Spraker in command Brown attempted one last try at Ledford's second place only to spin his machine in turn four just feet from the checkers. James Beavers advanced to third as Spraker's # 25 "Jeff's Auto Transport, Cliff's Transmission Service" took the checkers with Ledford in tow. Donald Forgey and Doss rounded out the top five. Finishing sixth thru tenth were; Gainer, R. Hair, Travis Winters, Brown and Danny Burnette.
